Only Ascend engineering will be able to do that.  They will not be much
help to anyone else.

After talking to some of the service representatives, here is what it means
in general terms.

The "Index:" is the general problem category.  Some of these are fairly
well known - "Index: 2" is typically an memory usage problem, "Index: 99"
is a system reset by operator.

The "Location:" is the system stack at the time of the fatal error.
The "Load:" and "Revision:" are necessary to allow an engineer to decipher
the stack trace.

The "Date:" and "Time:" allow you to match the log entry up with external
events you may be aware of.  Perhaps 10:00 is when the "Simpsons" episode
ends and you see a huge increase in the number of conection attempts.
